Maybe we will get a big man yet for next year??
"""It’s assumed in basketball recruiting circles that if five-star center Yohan Traore receives a scholarship offer from Kentucky, he’ll take an official visit to Lexington before he makes a college decision.
UK Coach John Calipari watched the 6-foot-10 post player earlier this month, but there’s been no news yet of a scholarship offer from the Wildcats, who might be running short on time in this recruitment. In a story posted Saturday morning, Traore told Rivals.com that he is looking to make a commitment soon.
“I don’t have an exact decision date decided yet, but I will be committing pretty soon, December or January,” he said.
Traore is ranked No. 4 nationally by Rivals.com, making him the best available prospect in the 2022 class and the only uncommitted big man in the group that could be expected to be an instant-impact freshman at UK, which does not have any frontcourt commitments for next season. Traore continues to list Kansas, Memphis, Michigan and Texas Tech as the four schools he’s most interested in."""

Here's another good big man for 2023.
"""Isaiah Miranda was a standout player at the National Prep Showcase.
The 7-foot-1, 2023 prospect finished with 28 points on 13-for-19 shooting from the field in Springfield (Mass.) Commonwealth Academy’s win.
“I am really diverse,” Miranda told Rivals.com. “I try to be that guy at the front of my team who is always talking with my teammates, so they know what’s going on. I have been working on becoming more comfortable on the court at all positions and becoming more of a leader, trying to play hard every second of the game.”
Miranda, ranked No. 42 overall in the 2023 Rivals150 update, has had many schools initiate contact with him over the past six to eight months."""

Looks like Traore committed to LSU so Miranda is the last one and he is ranked at #42. Looks like we'll have to find someone in the transfer portal instead.

Traore just de-committed from LSU. Maybe that's one Cal could get in on.

He is already down to 4 schools:
